================================================== ====
Basically a detriment to bonders, boonprots and all enchantment users that buff the team.
Even in the PvP event I saw monking was a pain unless you went pure heal...

Boon Prots?!

Boon Prots heal an extra 48 HP for each Enchantment they cast on a Dervish. Definaltely not anti-Monk.

Yes add reveral of fortune and you and the dervish will be happy...less healing needed for them, so bonders may have a slight problem, the dervish can handle themself pretty well with just themselves, hand them a couple enchants to use and it will be awesome.

don't forget skills are going to get changed before the release, they could be changed to removing dervish enchantments only

Boon Prot monks generally have a bunch of fairly short duration enchantments, Myst will only help in that area. It's not like half of the dervish skills wern't enchantments. Carefull managment of enchantments would allow a dervish to be bonded, since all of their enchants would be on top of the bonds, and they'd be the first enchants removed.

Maybe we may see more resto Rt's around.

I don't get it, how does a boon prot have trouble healing a dervish again? Most of the monks spells dont even last that long.

Each of the Dervish attributes has a self heal. Not even monks can boast that.

Compare that to that crap of a heal Shadow Refuge, and compare Mirage Cloak with the ELITE Flashing Blades...

For a boon prot, a single ROF will heal ~200 damage. 48 + 70 from the divine favor + divine boon. Up to 67 from damage --> health conversion and on top of that, 35ish (not to mention energy) health from mysticism triggering on enchantment end.

Looks like Dervishes will get on well with Ritualists and their Weapon Spells then.

I'm looking forward to taking my Resto. Rit into Elona.

I reckon D/Mo will just take ROF as a heal, because it ends so easily and often, and it recharges and casts so quickly it could be a lifesaver. And all those dervish enchantments.... *drool*

AoE damage enchants that don't scare away the enemy FTW!

Dervish arnt going to be hated imo, as everyone has said, these enchant enders are a good thing really, as long as it's ending the right enchants, so careful stacking if your that bothered.

IMO these guys, under the mechanics we saw at PvP event are going to be highly highly appreciated, A D/W will probably be able to both tank and dish out some major major damage, I mean, think of how quickly you would raise adrenaline. I can see FoW teams made up on Rit, Mo and dervishes only doing extremely well.

I think people who arnt good monks, or can't adapt will end up screaming "stop knocking my enchants off", especially if they think their breeze just saved you, but most people I feel will enjoy a Dervish in the party, ALOT more than they do an assassin.

I'm not worried about healing Dervishes, I'm more worried about enemy Dervishes taking away MY enchantments. Not to mention other classes doing so...

Rending Touch: You and target touched foe lose one Enchantment

Forget Shock Warriors, this is the new metagame...

nah not going to be a problem

Well basically, enchantment management (i.e. layering) will be the definitive line between a 'pro' and a 'noob'

I dont think a monk should worry about the dervishes too much, they are too easy to self-heal.

Dervishes are probably going to get nerfed, so, wait until they're changed, THEN complain? Not that this isn't a good point, but as other people have pointed out, it's not like ending the enchant doesn't do anything. That's what their primary attribute/energy management is BASED off of. So some other form of monking might be better because dervishes end enchants all the time! Big deal! As I recall, people didn't just drop over dead every second before the boonprot became popular.

I hope they don't nerf the stuff people didn't play like the scythe skills. I was one of the few people using a different build then everyone else and found that the Dervishes were quite balanced and fun to play if you used them for other then the builds being exploited which mostly consisted of enchantment managing.

yeah the syche skills were fun... they didn't seem to mesh with the other skills enough though.

When I say boon prot and bonders I mean maintained maintained enchants or those with significant duration, specifically Life Bond/Life Barrier in addition to Protective Spirit, Vigorous Spirit, Aegis, Shielding Hands, Judge's Insight, Healing Breeze, Healng Seed, Shield Guardian, Spirit Bond, Shield of Regen... basically anything > 10 seconds.

I didn't mean RoF and Guardian... those are only about 5-6 seconds as it is.

Seriously, they ought to make the skills end enchantments that are from the Dervish profession only.

Another thing is how will this work with Orders Necros and other team buffs...
